There are strong similarities between the two mecha-versus-monster tales, Guillermo del & Neon Genesis Evangelion. The kid is introduced to an international military program that builds giant robotic machines to fight marauding alien monsters. But the machines must be piloted by people with special neurological abilities. Naturally the kid has this power, and is chosen to mount humanity's last defense against the invasion. Both feature love-struck characters who enter and pilot giant machines in a global war against alien monsters, waging epic battles in dense urban areas and on the high seas. The pilots are immersed in an amniotic fluid-type liquid to achieve a psychic link with their machines, which get transported to battle by a fleet of aircraft. The main characters are haunted by psychological trauma that initially prevents them from beating the monsters. While some "Evangelion" fans might take issue with the similarities between the two, ultimately "Pacific Rim" comes off as its own film despite the abundance of ideas it draws from the genre. #Pacificrim #evangelion #neongenesisevangelion #evangelionfans #evangelionanime #neongenesisevangelionmemes #shinjiikari #pacificrimmovie #evangelionfanart #evangelionart #mecha #endofevangelion #pacificrim2018 https://www.instagram.com/p/CINqiyphtom/?igshid=1wwnfzgvcddkh
